   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-028
   * Project: Shibboleth authentication [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 6.x, 7.x
   * Date: 2015-January-21
   * Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:None/CI:None/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]

-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------

Shibboleth Authentication module allows users to log in and get permissions
based on federated (SAML2) authentication.

The roles that are assigned to users are based on a matching list. A
malicious attacker can delete matching rules from the list by getting the
administrator's browser to make a request to a specially-crafted URL while
the administrator is logged in.
